the boom shiftei TO the north. and through
the pioneer efforts OF the late DIR. Uriah
I-piohn another half mile of thickIy SET
tied celery territory was added unto the
CITY. To reclaim these lands ONLY re-
uuired the excavation of trenches lea,liny
To the ne;ghhoring creeks Then. with n
banking up of the sides, and, perhaps. n
little filling in. the lands yyerp converted
into some of the richest soil which lies ont
of doors. There are no reliable celery
figures, but enough is known To warrant
the KalamaZulu for claiming for his CITY
the celery championship of the world.
The markets of New York. Chicago. ST.
Paul, Cincinnati, New Orleans. and all
large cities are supplied from Kalamazoo
The delicious stalks even find their way
to San Francisco, Texas, Florida and New
England, arriving in excellent condition
after their long journey.
